Monokuma is the main antagonist of the Danganronpa franchise. He is a strange teddy bear who proclaims himself to be The Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy and initiates a life of mutual killing amongst the students.
He appears in both Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and its sequel, Super Dangan Ronpa 2: Goodbye Despair as a model of an animatronic bear used as an avatar to interact with the students by the mastermind. There are seemingly infinite copies of Monokuma, and he seems to have the ability to teleport. He is Usami's "brother" who had adopted her and later renamed her as "Monomi".
In Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls it is revealed that he was created by Monaca Towa as a group of killing machines for Junko Enoshima which she also used to attack the adults of Towa City.
He returns in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School Future Arc where a traitor to the Future Foundation is using as his avatar while hosting a new killing game among the members of the foundation.
He also serves as one of the two main antagonists (alongside Tsumugi Shirogane) in Danagnronpa V3 Killing Harmony where he is this time an independent AI working for Team Danganronpa.
Appearance []
Monokuma's entire face and body splits equally down the center into two sides. It resembles the Yin-Yang symbol of which there's a balance between good and bad. In some occasions, Monokuma would show his good side in regular conversation but would turn to his bad side when he's angry, merciless, or ruthless.
His right side is white in color and has the classic teddy bear expression. His left side shows a more sinister look - black in color, with a red slash for an eye with a camera visible within and an evil, stretched grin. Although he is entirely split into two opposite sides, the only parts of Monokuma that aren't affected by the split is his muzzle and belly area; which both remain white. He also has a large and obvious bellybutton on the lower part of his belly. His bulging navel has an X mark on it.
